Ingredients

   1  10 inch plain angel food cake
1/2   pint whipping cream
   1  cup washed, drained berries

Directions

   Place angel food cake bottom side up on plate.  With 2 forks carefully cut a 2 inch wide groove around the center of the top of the cake about 2 inches deep, keeping it in one piece.  Whip cream: as it thickens add sugar gradually.

   Fold in berries, walnuts and flavoring.  Fill groove with mixture, trying not to leave any air spaces.  Replace top on cake and pushing it on gently to make sure it is level.

      

Frost entire cake with icing. Stir in 1/4 tsp lemon extract and 6 drops of red food coloring. Place in refrigerator for approximately four hours.
